Lots of artists have been great at B-sides but only The Teardrop Explodes and Julian Cope (albeit perhaps not beyond My Nation Underground) did enough to compile into a stone-cold, no notes, filler-free, ten-out-of-ten, sky-high all-time masterpiece. open.spotify.com/playlist/0ju...

Aw, Jimmy Cliff. First thing that popped into my head was his appearance on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, where he reduced the sometimes very abrasive Mark Lamaar to putty belting out 'Many Rivers to Cross'

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top used some of the planks from Muddy Waters' shack to have custom made guitars made. These were sold to fund the renovation & moving of the shack to a museum in Clarksdale, Mississipi.

This question was partly prompted by Tom Cox’s post yesterday (should have made that clear).

I suppose the question I really mean is: despite the drawbacks and his horror story, is it still worth using Substack because it’s so well-established and people find things there?
Hello Bluesky - I’m going to be writing a kind of blog about what I am absolutely not calling my cancer “journey,” with an emphasis on being kind of blackly funny and hopefully helpful too… and to keep myself sane.

Q: is Substack the best choice in terms of reach, ease etc? Not looking to monetise.

If you're interested to read it, I just posted a new short story. (Only ~13 mins. long.) I wanted to do something like the 80s horror movies I love. However, when I read it, it doesn't feel like an 80's horror movie. (shrugs) Take a trip to the Nevada desert in '79. I hope you enjoy it.
